The Temple of Solomon – The Story of the Oldest Temple
In this issue, we present results from the spectroscopy and imaging for the first century (AD) of Qumran during the construction of the Temple of Solomon. In addition, an analysis of the images of Qumran and of the temple show that the structure is being repaired but that the original order and orientation of the temples are not restored. The Temple of Solomon remains a unique and intriguing example of a temple that has been built by men against all standards. This is an intriguing place to ask questions of the nature of religion and life during the Old Testament and the First Temple Period. We examine the use of the various symbols found in the ancient texts of the temple and of the Temple of Solomon for a possible interpretation of the creation of the temple of Solomon. Many ancient texts exist that suggest an order of priesthood, a building program, and of course ritual. We make an effort to identify the various ritual functions that are contained in the ritual texts that were created by different periods of Temple building in the Old Testament. The results show that the ritual texts have been used to plan, execute, and interpret the architectural designs in order to preserve the order of the temple. It is possible that what the priestes of Yahweh performed is not as important as what they saw and experienced during their time in the temple.
Author Overview: Dr. Paul Green, a world renowned archaeologist and lecturer at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, has written a brilliant book entitled, The Temple of Solomon: the Story of the Oldest Temple in Israel, the World’s Oldest Temple, and the Historic Event that Shaped Their History (Grand Rapids: Wm. Eerdmans, 2006). The Temple of Solomon is the result of a combination of the ancient Jewish temple builders, the Jewish rabbinic community, and the Hebrew Bible. Many of the oldest manuscripts of the Bible clearly display the building program and ritual functions of God’s house of worship, and this is the temple of Solomon. Green has focused on the Temple of Solomon because it is an object of study that has had a large and direct impact on the culture and history of Western society for more than 10,000 years. Green is a graduate of both the École des Beaux-Arts and the École du Louvre.

The future of the century II
I spent a good part of the early 1970s in a high-tech cubicle at the San Diego branch of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. It was there that I came up with the idea for The Future of the Century, the first comprehensive scientific/engineering manifesto for the next century or so. To use the term “next century” to mean “2050″ did not even exist at the time. But that was not unusual. Science/engineering communicators were always “building the next century,” whether that meant “making it real,” “shaping the future,” or “building the next world. ” The term “the next century” was used to describe not just the next half of the 20th century, but the previous half, the half before, the half that preceded, the half that followed, and the half that followed it.
The problem with that method was that the 20th century was as much an ephemeral and variable collection of events as it was an unchanging, unchanging time line. Things went up and things went down. In a sense, anything could be called “the next. ” It was as if the world were nothing but a series of snapshots. For example, the first half of the 20th century saw the rise of the United States, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the collapse of a global communist empire.
Of course, things didn’t stay exactly the same. But at least there was always something to look forward to.
That was the question of the 1970s.
I don’t claim to know what will happen in the next half of the 20th century. That’s up to the people making these predictions. My concern is with what people say they anticipate will happen when they look ahead in the next century.
The best guide to what people are looking ahead to is to look back at what people said happened in the 20th century. Some of the 20th century has been a time of great progress, while others have been tumultuous.
A Conversation with Bob Weeks
Here’s what happened and what might’ve happened. Bob: Hello and welcome back to my discussion of the programming community. We’ve had some heated conversations in the past and we have finally reached a point where we want to have a conversation about this whole community, so I’m going to go ahead and start with some background and say a few words about this particular program and how we work together to develop the product. There is a long history of the programming community in some ways being what is, for the rest of this conversation, referred to as the ‘gangs’, and ‘the community’. The programming community, in its entirety, is comprised of a variety of groups, including both those who produce and those who consume the most software, and we are part of that larger community. The programming community has a long history of being a bit of a dirty word. Even back during the glory days of the ’60s and ‘70s, the only way programmers associated with the programming community were usually referred to was as ‘the larcenists’. The term that is sometimes used is ‘assholes’. The term that comes to mind is ‘lazy’, and in this era of the programming community, what you want to do in the community is to bring people together, because there are a significant number of people who are completely unaware of the programming community. Now, the ‘lazy’ part is a relative term over here. We talk about all kinds of things. There are times when people want to show it off, and there are times when people don’t want to show it off. You know, sometimes you’re the lazy one. What we’ve come to understand is that the programming community exists for a reason. You need that structure and that order, otherwise it’s so difficult to do something new and exciting, and it’s such an enabler that you couldn’t achieve it on your own. It’s easy to say, ‘well I’m not going to hang out at the CCCC with the CCCC guys, I’m gonna get down there and I’m gonna create the whole programming community. ‘ But what you really want to do is, you want to be a part of that larger community, you want to be in that larger community. To have a conversation about programming today or any other day is like a conversation about going to a doctor’s appointment or having surgery.
